You Need to Read: Baby Dracula

Alright Baby Dracula, we know that you are going to grow up to be hauntingly charming and will potentially terrorize the world with the mere thought of you…but right now you are a baby. And like most youngsters you may want to read some great picture books. Here are some that I am recommending just for you: 


By Lucy Ruth Cummings 
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

I know you are a vampire baby…and most babies like to go to the zoo. Here is a book about a vampire family that visits the zoo and all the crazy mischief that happens on that particular trip. 

By Christopher Denise 
Little, Brown and Company, 2022. Picture Book.

Toddler Dracula, I know that you prefer doing things at night. And Knight Owl is no different! He wants to be a knight and protect the kingdom at night. Now, maybe you aren’t so into protecting kingdoms…but you can always learn to like it, right? 

By Scott Rothman 
Illustrated by Pete Oswald 
Random House Children’s Books, 2020. Picture Book.

Baby Drac, you are strong. You have great strength and can often get what you want. Well, here is another story for you. The Underwear Dragon is also quite strong and he often gets what he wants; however, in this story you will learn that maybe, just maybe, being smart and kind is even more important than being strong. 

By Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey 
Norton Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

Here is the thing, one day Baby Dracula, you might want to leave your Transylvanian home. And when that time comes, chances are you might want to travel by boat. So here is a great story about a boat and how that boat changes lives over time. Pay attention. Maybe you will realize not only that boats are a great way to travel, but that your actions can impact all those around you. 

By David LaRochelle 
Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka 
Candlewick Press, 2021. Informational.

Finally, Baby Dracula, this is my last book suggestion for you. It is all about learning how to apologize. Because, basically, I have a feeling that sometime you might do something that isn’t right or good…and if you don’t do something nice, you should apologize. So here is a book to help you understand how feelings are important and how you need to respect the feelings of others—and apologize if you do something wrong. 

Well, that’s it. Those are the books that I think you should read. I hope you enjoy them Baby Dracula!

Painting for Peace in Ferguson

By
Painting for Peace in Ferguson By Carol Swartout Klein Treehouse Publishing Group, 2015. Nonfiction. When the city of Ferguson was overrun with so much hate and despair that homes and businesses had to be boarded up to protect property, citizens of the community decided to bring a message of hope by painting the boarded windows. Klein’s rhyming text supports the photographs of the hundreds of artists and volunteers and their artwork as they bring the messages of peace, hope, love, and that by being united they can make a difference. A great book to show children how a community rallied to make a positive change and that even a small gesture can make a huge difference. A great discussion opener on how we should treat each other.

Dragon Run

By
Dragon Run by Patrick Matthews Scholastic, 2013.  336 pgs.  Fantasy      Al Pilgrommor is excited for Testing Day, when he will receive his rank, a tattooed number on the back of his neck, and a path forward to his future occupation and life.  He feels confident because his parents were fours on a scale of seven, but he is worried for his friend Wisp who doesn't have much of a chance of scoring above a two at best. But when Al is scored a zero, he not only has no prospects, he may lose his life as the dreaded Cullers are unleashed to kill him and his family to purify the land's bloodlines.  Al's world is ruled by dragons--the lords and supposed creators of humankind--so he thinks that even if he survives, he will have to make his living as a beggar or thief. But when Al sticks up for his Earther friend in front of Magister Ludi, he is drawn into the struggle of a secret organization hoping to destroy the Cullers, and perhaps the dragons them...

Review: We're All Gonna Die-Nosaur!

By
We’re All Gonna Die-nosaur! By Kon Tan  New York: Disney Hyperion, 2025. Intermediate. 157 pages.  Pterry (the “p” is silent) pterodactyl is a worry wart. Pterry is worried about flying (he doesn’t how to fly yet), dinosaurs going extinct (he had a scary dream), and how to protect his family (he has a little brother who hasn’t fully hatched from an egg yet). Even though there is a lot of feels for Pterry, this is actually quite a funny book. Pterry tries to learn how to fly with kites as his “training wheels” and his brother who is inside an egg is quite the adventurer.  This is a funny, heart-felt comic-like intermediate fiction book that will be great for many readers. If kids love dinosaurs, this book is for them. If kids like funny graphic novels, this book is for them. If kids want to read something about facing fears and doing things even though they don’t always want to, this book is for them. Plus, even though Pterry does a lot of things on his own, he still has s...
